The year - 1993
The college I attended was asked by Disney to put a choir together and tour the states for a couple months doing 'Disney's Symphonic Fantasy'.
We were at the Met for two weeks and a group of us went to see 'Crazy For You'.
We also saw 'Goodbye Girl', 'Will Rogers' Follies', 'Kiss of the Spider Woman', and 'Jelly's Last Jam'.
I was hooked.

I was 13, but the first professional show I saw when I was five and I don't remember anything about it except there were four actors and one was in drag. Pretty age-appropriate stuff for a kindergartener

Posted: 8/27/06 at 8:31pmI was 13. It was the day before Thanksgiving of 1983 and the show was My One and Only with Twiggy, Tommy Tune and the LEGENDARY Charles "Honey" Coles. St. James Theater, fourth or fifth row, Orchestra right. I was SHOCKED at how tiny the St. James was compaired with our MASSIVE 3,500 seat warehouse of an auditorium in Dallas which was the only experience I'd had watching musicals up until that point and it totally changed my perspective on what a good show and a bad show was and how much it mattered what size theater a show plays in, etc. To say it was life-changing is an understatement. oh, we also saw Cats, Nine and Brighton Beach Memoirs in that order, all of which were fantastic.

Posted: 8/27/06 at 9:32pmRENT in 2000. I was only 10 years old. My dad was going to get tickets to The Lion King, but apparently they were all sold out so he bought the RENT ones instead. Now I am so extremely happy that he did that because that was what started my whole obsession with broadway! I actually understood pretty much all of the show surprisingly. The things I remember most though were the music(LOVED IT!)and how close we were to the stage (3rd though i think).

Official Broadway virginity -- 24 with Cats
Third Base (professional Chicago production) -- probably 7 or 8 with Tony Randall in The Music Man
Second Base (University theater in my hometown) -- probably 4 or 5 with nameless/faceless shows I don't remember
First Base (community theater) -- in utero?
